In the looming shadow of an oppressive dictatorship and imminent
world war, George Seferis and George Katsimbalis, along with other
poets and writers from Greece's fabled Generation of the 1930s,
welcomed Henry Miller and Lawrence Durrell to their homeland.
Together, as they spent evenings in Athenian tavernas, explored the
Peloponnese, swam off island beaches, and considered the meaning of
Greek life and freedom and art, they seemed to be inventing
paradise. In a lyrical blend of personal memoir, literary
criticism, and interpretative storytelling, Edmund Keeley takes
readers on a journey into the poetry, friendships, and politics of
this extraordinary time. A remarkable work of cultural history and
imaginative criticism, his book recreates a lost paradise of
immediate charm, literary greatness, and mythic reach.
